A Gettysburg Remembrance-Commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Gettysburg this medley of Civil War-era tunes is cast in a unique and appealing setting for young bands. The Girl I Left Behind Me (tin whistles are optional) WhenJohnny Comes MarchingHome and the tender Johnny Has Gone for a Soldier express longing and hope for loved ones far away. In contrast Battle Cry of Freedom and Battle Hymn of the Republic inspire feelingsof patriotic resolve and courage. Arousingly effective work! (Grade 2.5) Dur: 5:10
